Hem an Bekele is not your typical high school student.Rather than spending his free time playing video games or staring at his phone, this 14 year-old from Fairfax, Virginia was calling professors and conducting experiments, all to create a soap that could treat skin cancer, and to make it affordable for everyone who needs it.His work won him the grand prize in this year’s 3M Young Scientist’s Challenge, a competition that encourages kids to think of unique ways to solve everyday problems.
Growing up in Ethiopia, Bekele found in pity that people working outside were likely to end up getting skin cancer.Skin cancer did have cures and was treatable in most cases.However, the average price of skin cancer treatment globally was almost $40,000.Those shocking statistics really inspired him to create a more accessible solution.He started doing experiments and working on different things, and that turned into his bar of soap as a project.
A lot of his research and development started in his family’s kitchen and in his basement.But as he reached the final of the competition, he realized that he did need to do a little bit more outside of just his house.So he reached out to people at University of Virginia and people at Georgetown, and he got a lot of assistance.The number one person would be Deborah Isabelle, who helped him organize and structure his ideas during the finalist competition.Bekele said that he definitely couldn’t have done that all by himself.
Bekele’s award-winning soap is a compound based bar of soap and it’s charged with different cancer fighting chemicals.The color of the soap is a bit of a dark type of white and it has a rough surface, which could be a good exfoliant(去角质剂).It does have a strong medicine smell and feel a bit stickier.The whole point of it is that even once you wash off the soaps, the medicinal parts will stay on your skin.It can activate the body’s immune cells to defend cancer.
Bekele won 25,000 prize money and he was going to use it to continue research.He said, “I still need a lot of resources to be able to conduct this research, so this money will definitely help me achieve it.”
4.Why did Heman Bekele start working on creating the soap
A.Because he thought it was a fun project.
B.Because he wanted to win a science competition.
C.Because he found skin cancer treatment unaffordable.
D.Because he wanted to create a unique soap for everyone.
5.What can we learn from Bekele’s preparations for the final
A.Well begun is half done. B.Learn humbly, ask willingly.
C.Actions speak louder than words. D.Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
6.What is paragraph 4 of the text mainly about
A.What features the soap has. B.How the soap is used.
C.What chemicals the soap contains. D.How the soap is produced.
7.Which words can be used to describe Bekele according to the passage
A.Patient and talented. B.Friendly and ambitious.
C.Cautious and generous. D.Caring and devoted.
【答案】4.C 5.B 6.A 7.D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位14岁学生Heman Bekele,通过自身努力和不断寻求帮助,发明了一种普通人能负担起的抗击皮肤癌的肥皂,因此获得了“美国顶尖年轻科学家”的称号。
4.细节理解题。根据第二段中 “Skin cancer did have cures and was treatable in most cases. However, the average price of skin cancer treatment globally was almost $40,000. Those shocking statistics really inspired him to create a more accessible solution.”(皮肤癌确实可以治愈,而且在大多数情况下是可以治疗的。然而,全球皮肤癌治疗的平均价格接近4万美元。这些令人震惊的统计数据确实激发了他创造一个人们更容易获得的解决方案。)可知, Heman Bekele 正是因为发现很多皮肤癌患者负担不起治疗费用,才决心发明治疗皮肤癌的肥皂,让人们能够负担得起治疗费用。故选 C项。
5.推理判断题。根据第三段的“So he reached out to people at University of Virginia and people at Georgetown, and he got a lot of assistance. The number one person would be Deborah Isabelle, who helped him organize and structure his ideas during the finalist competition.”(所以他联系了弗吉尼亚大学和乔治城大学的老师,他得到了很多帮助。排名第一的人是黛博拉·伊莎贝尔(Deborah Isabelle),她在决赛中帮助他筹备和组织了他的想法。)可知,Heman Bekele 在最后阶段寻求了很多外界的帮助。A 是“良好的开端是成功的一半”;B 是“虚心学习,乐意请教”;C 是“事实胜于雄辩”;D 是“抱最好的希望,做最坏的打算”。故选 B项。
6.主旨大意题。根据第四段“Bekele’s award-winning soap is a compound based bar of soap and it’s charged with different cancer fighting chemicals.The color of the soap is a bit of a dark type of white and it has a rough surface, which could be a good exfoliant(去角质剂).It does have a strong medicine smell and feel a bit stickier.The whole point of it is that even once you wash off the soaps, the medicinal parts will stay on your skin.It can activate the body’s immune cells to defend cancer.”(Bekele的获奖肥皂是一种复合肥皂,它含有不同的抗癌化学物质。肥皂的颜色有点暗白色,表面粗糙,可能是一种很好的去角质剂。它确实有强烈的药味,摸起来有点粘。重点是,即使你洗掉了肥皂,药用成分也会留在你的皮肤上。它可以激活人体的免疫细胞来防御癌症。)可知,该段主要描述了肥皂的成分、颜色、气味和功效等特征。故选 A项。
7.推理判断题。根据第二段中“However, the average price of skin cancer treatment globally was almost $40,000. Those shocking statistics really inspired him to create a more accessible solution.”(然而,全球皮肤癌治疗的平均价格接近4万美元。这些令人震惊的统计数据确实激发了他创造一个人们更容易获得的解决方案。)可知Heman Bekele关心他人;又根据第一段中“Rather than spending his free time playing video games or staring at his phone, this 14 year-old from Fairfax, Virginia was calling professors and conducting experiments, all to create a soap that could treat skin cancer, and to make it affordable for everyone who needs it.”(这个来自弗吉尼亚州费尔法克斯的14岁男孩没有把空闲时间花在玩电子游戏或盯着手机上,而是打电话给教授并进行实验,所有这些都是为了创造一种可以治疗皮肤癌的肥皂,并使每个需要它的人都能负担得起。);以及最后一段“Bekele won 25,000 prize money and he was going to use it to continue research.”(Bekele赢得了2.5万美元的奖金,他打算用这笔钱继续研究。)可知,他全心全意地投入到研究抗癌肥皂。故选 D项。

If you’ve ever waded into the ocean for a swim and suddenly realized that the shore is getting farther away, not closer, you may have encountered a rip current (离岸流). Common at beaches worldwide, these powerful currents flow from the shore toward the sea at speeds up to several feet per second.
It’s important to know what rip currents are and how to look for them, because they are a leading cause of drownings in the surf zone near shore. Rip currents can form in several ways. One type of rip current, known as a channel rip current, forms when there are gaps between breaking waves. As waves break, they push water toward the beach and raise the level of the water slightly. If waves break on a sandbar (沙洲), but not in a deeper channel that cuts through the sandbar, the extra water that the waves have pushed toward the beacon escapes back to the ocean through the channel. The darker corridor of the escaping water acts like a conveyor belt, moving water, unsuspecting swimmers and small marine organisms offshore.
Another type, known as a transient or flash rip current, forms when surf is choppy (波涛汹涌的). The edges of breaking waves push on the water and make it spin, like a fast ice skater crashing into someone.
Think of a rip current as a swift river cutting through the surf away from the shore. Swimming against the current is going to tire you out and put you at risk of drowning. Instead, swim parallel to the beach—think of heading for the “river banks”—until you are out of the rip current’s pull. Once you’re no longer fighting it, you can swim back to shore.
Rip currents aren’t just a safety issue. Scientists are beginning to better understand the crucial ecological role they play in the ocean. Many marine organisms, including oysters, barnacles, fish and coral, rely on ocean currents to find suitable habitats. These organisms swim up or down or attach to floating or sinking material and are transported by multiple ocean processes. Rip currents are a key mechanism for carrying larvae (幼体) to deeper waters or recalculating them in shallow waters. The type and behavior of the rip current may affect the movement of marine organisms.
8.What can we learn about channel rip currents according to the text
A.They cause a bit huger waves than common currents.
B.They form around deeper channels in the ocean’s bottom.
C.They present visually as darker areas between breaking waves.
D.They are generated when two waves meet close to the shore.
9.What does the underlined word “transient” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A.Dangerous. B.Powerful. C.Slow-flowing. D.Short-lived.
10.What suggestion does the author give on escaping from a rip current
A.Swimming with the current.
B.Avoiding swimming against the current.
C.Swimming under the current.
D.Avoiding floating with the current.
11.Why are rip currents important to the ocean ecology
A.They redistribute small marine organisms.
B.They provide habitats for marine organisms.
C.They change the structure of marine ecosystems.
D.They bring nutrients from the ocean’s bottom to the surface.
【答案】8.C 9.D 10.B 11.A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。离岸流是指从海岸经波浪区向海中流动的一股狭窄而强劲的水流。离岸流具有很大的危险性,但同时对于海洋生态具有重要作用。
8.细节理解题。根据第二段的“One type of rip current, known as a channel rip current, forms when there are gaps between breaking waves.(一种类型的离岸流,被称为通道离岸流,当破碎波之间存在间隙时形成。)”及“The darker corridor of the escaping water acts like a conveyor belt, moving water, unsuspecting swimmers and small marine organisms offshore.(流出水的较暗色地带就像一条传送带,移动着水,不知情的游泳者和离岸的小型海洋生物。)”可推知,channel rip currents在视觉上呈现为海浪裂口间较暗的区域。故选C。
9.词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的“or”可知,transient与“flash”是近义词,结合后文“forms when surf is choppy(波浪起伏时形成)”可知,画线词意为“短暂的,瞬间的”。故选D。
10.推理判断题。根据第四段的第二句“Swimming against the current is going to tire you out and put you at risk of drowning.(逆流游泳会使你疲惫不堪,并使你有溺水的危险。)”可知,作者建议避免逆流而游,因为逆流而游会导致疲惫甚至溺水。故选B。
11.推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Rip currents are a key mechanism for carrying larvae (幼体)to deeper waters or recirculation them in shallow waters. The type and behavior of the rip current may affect the movement of marine organisms.(离岸流是将幼虫带到较深水域或在浅水中再循环的关键机制。离岸流的类型和行为可能影响海洋生物的运动。)”可推知,离岸流可重新分配海洋微生物,故而对海洋生态具有重要作用。故选A。
D
A new international organization, ReShark, including partners from 15 countries and 44 aquariums, is challenging the shark statistics. According to National Geographic, ReShark’s goal is to release 500 endangered zebra sharks in Indonesian waters to increase a wild population that is on the edge of extinction. This is the first-ever attempt to reintroduce captive sharks into the wild.
Marine reintroductions present significant challenges due to the complexity and shortage of ocean life, as well as the difficulty in managing threats, according to National Geographic. Team ReShark understands that the reintroduction may go up in smoke. Unlike land animals that have been successfully reintroduced in the past, such as giant pandas in China, young sharks are more likely to suffer from diseases and be killed by other animals, and they struggle to find food on their own.
Sharks have a remarkable history as one of the oldest vertebrate species, surviving five mass extinctions over a period of 420 million years. They play an important role in marine ecosystems by influencing the ocean’s food chains. However, they are now facing the second-highest rate of disappearance. Research shows that more than 37 percent of the shark species are at risk of extinction due to overfishing, both legal and illegal. Sharks are hunted for their meat. Nearly 100 million sharks are killed by human hands each year, according to the organization Sentient Media.
Despite the alarming decline in shark populations globally, top shark scientists are hopeful that ReShark’s efforts will succeed. Given these challenges, Simon Fraser University ecologist Dulvy initially had some doubts about ReShark’s plans. However, after asking some questions, he was surprised by what the initiative could produce. “This initiative is different,” Dulvy explained. Similarly, Rima Jabado, Dulvy’s successor, recognized ReShark as a unique project that could provide a lifeline for endangered shark species. “It may provide an opportunity for species not to go extinct,” she said.
12.What’s the ReShark’s intention of releasing sharks
A.To conduct shark data collection.
B.To study the living habits of sharks.
C.To save the endangered shark species.
D.To test new ways of keeping sharks.
13.What does the underlined part “go up in smoke” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A.Disappear. B.Fail. C.Work. D.Influence.
14.How does the Paragraph 3 develop
A.By giving examples. B.By giving descriptions.
C.By making comparison. D.By making classifications.
15.What does Rima Jabado think of ReShark’s project
A.Special and promising. B.Hopeful and effortless.
C.Risky and costly. D.Doubtful and immature.
【答案】12.C 13.B 14.B 15.A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了致力于拯救野生鲨鱼的ReShark项目及鲨鱼现状。
12.细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“According to National Geographic, ReShark’s goal is to release 500 endangered zebra sharks in Indonesian waters to increase a wild population that is on the edge of extinction.”(据《国家地理》报道,ReShark的目标是在印度尼西亚水域释放500条濒临灭绝的斑马鲨,以增加濒临灭绝的野生种群。)可知,ReShark的目的是为了拯救濒临灭绝的鲨鱼种群。故选C项。
13.词义猜测题。根据第二段第一句“Marine reintroductions present significant challenges due to the complexity and shortage of ocean life, as well as the difficulty in managing threats, according to National Geographic.”(据《国家地理》报道,由于海洋生物的复杂性和短缺,以及管理威胁的难度,海洋生物重新引入面临重大挑战。)及第三句“Unlike land animals that have been successfully reintroduced in the past, such as giant pandas in China, young sharks are more likely to suffer from diseases and be killed by other animals, and they struggle to find food on their own.”(与过去成功重新引入的陆地动物,如中国的大熊猫不同,年轻的鲨鱼更容易患上疾病,更容易被其他动物杀死,而且它们很难自己寻找食物。)可知,重新将鲨鱼引入海洋面临环境和鲨鱼自身等各方面的挑战,很难成功,故推知go up in smoke意为“失败,不成功”。故选B项。
14.推理判断题。根据第三段“Sharks have a remarkable history as one of the oldest vertebrate species, surviving five mass extinctions over a period of 420 million years. They play an important role in marine ecosystems by influencing the ocean’s food chains. However, they are now facing the second-highest rate of disappearance. Research shows that more than 37 percent of the shark species are at risk of extinction due to overfishing, both legal and illegal. Sharks are hunted for their meat. Nearly 100 million sharks are killed by human hands each year, according to the organization Sentient Media.”(作为最古老的脊椎动物物种之一,鲨鱼有着非凡的历史,在4.2亿年的时间里经历了五次大灭绝。它们通过影响海洋食物链,在海洋生态系统中发挥着重要作用。然而,它们现在面临着第二高的消失率。研究表明,超过37%的鲨鱼物种由于合法和非法的过度捕捞而面临灭绝的危险。人们捕杀鲨鱼以获取它们的肉。据Sentient Media组织称,每年有近1亿条鲨鱼被人类杀死。)可知,本段主要描述了鲨鱼从古至今经历的灭绝及由于人类大肆猎杀导致的现状。故选B项。
15.推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句“Similarly, Rima Jabado, Dulvy’s successor, recognized ReShark as a unique project that could provide a lifeline for endangered shark species. “It may provide an opportunity for species not to go extinct,” she said.”(同样,Dulvy的继任者Rima Jabado认为ReShark是一个独特的项目,可以为濒危鲨鱼物种提供生命线。她说:“这可能为物种提供一个不灭绝的机会。”)可知,Rima Jabado认为该项目十分特别,又充满前景。故选A项。

【答案】
36.located 37.was built 38.parts 39.to flow 40.to 41.and 42.making 43.practical 44.where 45.significance
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一个古老的灌溉系统——都江堰。
36.考查非谓语动词。句意:都江堰是一个古老的灌溉系统,位于中国四川省岷江流域。“(locate) in the Min River Valley, Sichuan Province, China.”作后置定语,修饰名词an ancient irrigation system,locate(把……建造于)是非谓语动词,与其逻辑主语an ancient irrigation system之间是被动关系,用过去分词表被动。故填located。
37.考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:它是由一位名叫李冰的总督和他的儿子建造的,他们被中国人崇拜了2000多年。分析句子可知,build(建造)是句中谓语动词,与主语It(即Dujiangyan)之间是被动关系,结合常识,都江堰的修建是发生在过去的事情,应使用一般过去时态,又因主语是第三人称单数代词,所以谓语动词也应使用单数形式。综上,谓语应用一般过去时的被动语态,单数形式。故填was built。
38.考查名词复数。句意:该系统由三个主要部分组成:鱼嘴堤防,飞沙堰和宝瓶口。基数词three修饰可数名词part,用复数形式。故填parts。
39.考查非谓语动词。句意:鱼嘴将水流从成都引开,同时允许泥沙通过主河道,防止洪水泛滥。allow sb./sth. to do...是固定搭配,意为“允许……去做……”,用不定式,作宾语补足语。故填to flow。
40.考查介词。句意:飞沙堰控制着水流,有助于防止逐渐破坏,而宝瓶口则将水分配给农田。distribute...to...是固定搭配,意为“把……分配给……”,介词to表示对象。故填to。
41.考查连词。句意:都江堰在不使用水坝或闸门的情况下就能控制水流,被认为是中国古代最伟大的工程之一。分析句子可知,has been able to和is considered是并列谓语动词,用连词and连接。故填and。
42.考查非谓语动词。句意:它还在灌溉周围农田方面发挥了至关重要的作用,使该地区成为中国最肥沃的农田之一。“(make) the region one of the most fertile croplands in China.”作结果状语,make是非谓语动词,与其逻辑主语It(即Dujiangyan)之间是主动关系,用现在分词,表情理之中的结果。故填making。
43.考查形容词。句意:除了它的实际用途,都江堰也是一个受欢迎的旅游景点,游客来这里欣赏古老的建筑,了解它的历史。提示词修饰名词uses,用形容词practical作定语,意为“实际的”。故填practical。
44.考查定语从句。句意:除了它的实际用途,都江堰也是一个受欢迎的旅游景点,游客来这里欣赏古老的建筑,了解它的历史。分析句子可知,空格处单词引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词tourist attraction,关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作地点状语,表示“在这个旅游景点”,应使用关系副词where引导该从句。故填where。
45.考查名词。句意:2000年,它因其文化和历史意义被联合国教科文组织认定为世界遗产。提示词作宾语,用名词significance,意为“意义”,不可数名词。故填significance。

I was helping my mother in the kitchen when I heard a terrible noise struck from above. I rushed to the upper floor to check out. There was nothing but a wet footprint on the floor.
“What’s happening ” my mother asked.
“Nothing, just the sound of lightning.” I knew something strange had happened, but I ignored it as my mother was suffering a cardiac (心脏的) disease. “We’d better close the windows. Maybe rain will pour down,” I showed a relaxing expression but thought back about that footprint. It was so familiar, but I could not remember where I had seen it.
“David, can you help me take the cooking pot in the attic (阁楼) ” my mother requested. “Oh, please! I am afraid of the dark,” I answered.
My mother said that I was like my father. Oh, you want to know what happened to my father He was an engineer. Last month, he went to the oil platform in the middle of the sea at Jerteh, Terengganu. He said he went there for only 4 days. But 2 weeks had passed, and he still didn’t come back. My mother called the management office in Jerteh but was told they hadn’t seen him since they last saw him on his way to the seashore from the oil platform.
Speaking of my father, my mother looked sad. “Today was our Anniversary Day, but he was missing.”
But back to the main point. I investigated the footprint in my room. And when I looked up, the window was opened. I walked towards it and looked out. Nothing. I closed the window and lay down on my bed. “Ouch! What is this ” I asked myself.
There was a small box on my bed. I wondered what was inside it. I opened the brown box. There was a necklace, made of pure gold. Why was there a gold necklace in my room
Suddenly, my room became dark. My terrible fear towards the darkness was to the limit. I grabbed a flashlight and turned it on.

I was wild with joy. “Dad! Is it you Is this a dream ”
I shouted excitedly, and called my mum down. She was shocked and nearly fainted when she saw my father. “Actually, I planned this thing with the workers in the management office. I knew that your mother would call them, and my plan to be back on our Anniversary Day came true,” said my father. He asked me to fetch the gold necklace he left accidentally in my room when he intended to check if we were home. Then, he handed it to my mum with both of his hands. “Happy Anniversary Day, my dear!” my father said to my mother. My mother couldn’t help crying, giving my dad a big hug.

Hem an Bekele is not your typical high school student.Rather than spending his free time playing video games or staring at his phone, this 14 year-old from Fairfax, Virginia was calling professors and conducting experiments, all to create a soap that could treat skin cancer, and to make it affordable for everyone who needs it.His work won him the grand prize in this year’s 3M Young Scientist’s Challenge, a competition that encourages kids to think of unique ways to solve everyday problems.
Growing up in Ethiopia, Bekele found in pity that people working outside were likely to end up getting skin cancer.Skin cancer did have cures and was treatable in most cases.However, the average price of skin cancer treatment globally was almost $40,000.Those shocking statistics really inspired him to create a more accessible solution.He started doing experiments and working on different things, and that turned into his bar of soap as a project.
A lot of his research and development started in his family’s kitchen and in his basement.But as he reached the final of the competition, he realized that he did need to do a little bit more outside of just his house.So he reached out to people at University of Virginia and people at Georgetown, and he got a lot of assistance.The number one person would be Deborah Isabelle, who helped him organize and structure his ideas during the finalist competition.Bekele said that he definitely couldn’t have done that all by himself.
Bekele’s award-winning soap is a compound based bar of soap and it’s charged with different cancer fighting chemicals.The color of the soap is a bit of a dark type of white and it has a rough surface, which could be a good exfoliant(去角质剂).It does have a strong medicine smell and feel a bit stickier.The whole point of it is that even once you wash off the soaps, the medicinal parts will stay on your skin.It can activate the body’s immune cells to defend cancer.
Bekele won 25,000 prize money and he was going to use it to continue research.He said, “I still need a lot of resources to be able to conduct this research, so this money will definitely help me achieve it.”
4.Why did Heman Bekele start working on creating the soap
A.Because he thought it was a fun project.
B.Because he wanted to win a science competition.
C.Because he found skin cancer treatment unaffordable.
D.Because he wanted to create a unique soap for everyone.

A.Well begun is half done. B.Learn humbly, ask willingly.
C.Actions speak louder than words. D.Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
6.What is paragraph 4 of the text mainly about

If you’ve ever waded into the ocean for a swim and suddenly realized that the shore is getting farther away, not closer, you may have encountered a rip current (离岸流). Common at beaches worldwide, these powerful currents flow from the shore toward the sea at speeds up to several feet per second.
It’s important to know what rip currents are and how to look for them, because they are a leading cause of drownings in the surf zone near shore. Rip currents can form in several ways. One type of rip current, known as a channel rip current, forms when there are gaps between breaking waves. As waves break, they push water toward the beach and raise the level of the water slightly. If waves break on a sandbar (沙洲), but not in a deeper channel that cuts through the sandbar, the extra water that the waves have pushed toward the beacon escapes back to the ocean through the channel. The darker corridor of the escaping water acts like a conveyor belt, moving water, unsuspecting swimmers and small marine organisms offshore.
Another type, known as a transient or flash rip current, forms when surf is choppy (波涛汹涌的). The edges of breaking waves push on the water and make it spin, like a fast ice skater crashing into someone.
Think of a rip current as a swift river cutting through the surf away from the shore. Swimming against the current is going to tire you out and put you at risk of drowning. Instead, swim parallel to the beach—think of heading for the “river banks”—until you are out of the rip current’s pull. Once you’re no longer fighting it, you can swim back to shore.
Rip currents aren’t just a safety issue. Scientists are beginning to better understand the crucial ecological role they play in the ocean. Many marine organisms, including oysters, barnacles, fish and coral, rely on ocean currents to find suitable habitats. These organisms swim up or down or attach to floating or sinking material and are transported by multiple ocean processes. Rip currents are a key mechanism for carrying larvae (幼体) to deeper waters or recalculating them in shallow waters. The type and behavior of the rip current may affect the movement of marine organisms.
8.What can we learn about channel rip currents according to the text
A.They cause a bit huger waves than common currents.
B.They form around deeper channels in the ocean’s bottom.
C.They present visually as darker areas between breaking waves.
D.They are generated when two waves meet close to the shore.
9.What does the underlined word “transient” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A.Dangerous. B.Powerful. C.Slow-flowing. D.Short-lived.
10.What suggestion does the author give on escaping from a rip current
A.Swimming with the current.
B.Avoiding swimming against the current.
C.Swimming under the current.
D.Avoiding floating with the current.
11.Why are rip currents important to the ocean ecology
A.They redistribute small marine organisms.
B.They provide habitats for marine organisms.
C.They change the structure of marine ecosystems.
D.They bring nutrients from the ocean’s bottom to the surface.

A new international organization, ReShark, including partners from 15 countries and 44 aquariums, is challenging the shark statistics. According to National Geographic, ReShark’s goal is to release 500 endangered zebra sharks in Indonesian waters to increase a wild population that is on the edge of extinction. This is the first-ever attempt to reintroduce captive sharks into the wild.
Marine reintroductions present significant challenges due to the complexity and shortage of ocean life, as well as the difficulty in managing threats, according to National Geographic. Team ReShark understands that the reintroduction may go up in smoke. Unlike land animals that have been successfully reintroduced in the past, such as giant pandas in China, young sharks are more likely to suffer from diseases and be killed by other animals, and they struggle to find food on their own.
Sharks have a remarkable history as one of the oldest vertebrate species, surviving five mass extinctions over a period of 420 million years. They play an important role in marine ecosystems by influencing the ocean’s food chains. However, they are now facing the second-highest rate of disappearance. Research shows that more than 37 percent of the shark species are at risk of extinction due to overfishing, both legal and illegal. Sharks are hunted for their meat. Nearly 100 million sharks are killed by human hands each year, according to the organization Sentient Media.
Despite the alarming decline in shark populations globally, top shark scientists are hopeful that ReShark’s efforts will succeed. Given these challenges, Simon Fraser University ecologist Dulvy initially had some doubts about ReShark’s plans. However, after asking some questions, he was surprised by what the initiative could produce. “This initiative is different,” Dulvy explained. Similarly, Rima Jabado, Dulvy’s successor, recognized ReShark as a unique project that could provide a lifeline for endangered shark species. “It may provide an opportunity for species not to go extinct,” she said.
12.What’s the ReShark’s intention of releasing sharks
A.To conduct shark data collection.
B.To study the living habits of sharks.
C.To save the endangered shark species.
D.To test new ways of keeping sharks.
13.What does the underlined part “go up in smoke” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A.Disappear. B.Fail. C.Work. D.Influence.
14.How does the Paragraph 3 develop
A.By giving examples. B.By giving descriptions.
C.By making comparison. D.By making classifications.
15.What does Rima Jabado think of ReShark’s project
A.Special and promising. B.Hopeful and effortless.
C.Risky and costly. D.Doubtful and immature.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was helping my mother in the kitchen when I heard a terrible noise struck from above. I rushed to the upper floor to check out. There was nothing but a wet footprint on the floor.
“What’s happening ” my mother asked.
“Nothing, just the sound of lightning.” I knew something strange had happened, but I ignored it as my mother was suffering a cardiac (心脏的) disease. “We’d better close the windows. Maybe rain will pour down,” I showed a relaxing expression but thought back about that footprint. It was so familiar, but I could not remember where I had seen it.
“David, can you help me take the cooking pot in the attic (阁楼) ” my mother requested. “Oh, please! I am afraid of the dark,” I answered.
My mother said that I was like my father. Oh, you want to know what happened to my father He was an engineer. Last month, he went to the oil platform in the middle of the sea at Jerteh, Terengganu. He said he went there for only 4 days. But 2 weeks had passed, and he still didn’t come back. My mother called the management office in Jerteh but was told they hadn’t seen him since they last saw him on his way to the seashore from the oil platform.
Speaking of my father, my mother looked sad. “Today was our Anniversary Day, but he was missing.”
But back to the main point. I investigated the footprint in my room. And when I looked up, the window was opened. I walked towards it and looked out. Nothing. I closed the window and lay down on my bed. “Ouch! What is this ” I asked myself.
There was a small box on my bed. I wondered what was inside it. I opened the brown box. There was a necklace, made of pure gold. Why was there a gold necklace in my room
Suddenly, my room became dark. My terrible fear towards the darkness was to the limit. I grabbed a flashlight and turned it on.
